Looking for some guidance regarding networking configuration

Hello. We are a start-up, and we are using some very cool technology from Microsoft R&D called the Microsoft Graph Engine, not to be confused with the Microsoft Graph. The Graph Engine is a native very advanced, high-performing TCP/IP stack and I've written a native Windows Server Service wrapper around the Graph Engine Application Service. In our demo and beta phases now, I need to configure our small but safe network so that our native WPF (.NET 5.0) and WinUI 3 clients can access these windows services. We will deploy to Azure VMs with all the networking trimming in place but right now I need to configure our network so that our investor and beta clients can run the software. I've done this to save on cost and so it's necessary that we find a way to do this. I'll look at Azure Arc as a method and vehicle to move forward. This is what I've done thus far:

  • Using Azure DNS to publish FQDN to the WWW
  • Using ZyXEL firewall routers combined with MiroTek 10GB switches with Fiber connectivity to NAS
  • Running Windows Server 2022 Datacenter, hosting 4 Hyper-V VM instances in the cluster configuration and filesystem failover.
    • All machines running attached to Active Directory
  • Graph Engine is an In-memory distributed Graph-powered memory cloud with Azure Service Fabric capability using Availability Groups for failover and load balancing.

I can't run System Center because of cost limitations and I don't have compatible network appliances in place


How should I proceed?

 

I know you are crazy busy; thanks for your time and attention.
